SAKE/Miyoshino Jozo

Hanatomoe Splash 2023

Hanatomoe Splash 2023

 

Miyoshino Jozo was established in 1912. The current Toji [Master Brewer] at Miyoshino Jozo is Teruaki Hashimoto, who returned to the Kura after studying sake Brewing at Tokyo Nodai, Japan’s foremost academic institution of brewing studies. He started working in 2006 and became Toji in 2009. Hashimoto-san focuses on yeast which he believes is the best representation of the local environment and the acids emitted by the yeast make the resultant sake very unique.

The Hanatomoe Splash is made with a blend of rice polished to 50% and fermented utilising naturally occuring yeast in the brewery. This Nigori sake has a zesty gentle spritz with a fresh and vibrant palate.
